I've never heard of "druck store"; I pronounce drug store with [k], but druck store to me indicates /k/, i.e. a short vowel with preglottalization, whereas drug store for me has a long vowel with no preglottalization, i.e. it has /g/.

Huh. I initially was going to disclaim this, but upon further reflection, I do do this. Neat!
